Re: How to get started smoking pipes
stick a knife under the lip ans slowly bend it out. Most tins are vacuum sealed and you need to get a litte air in there to open her up. You should hear a pop or the sound of the air rushing in. Also, the tobacco is proabaly wrapped in some sort of paper in the tin so it won't all fall out everywhere.

Re: How to get started smoking pipes
There is nothing like opening a tin and getting that first whiff. And then, the wax paper all browned from the tobacco. Mmmmm.

Re: How to get started smoking pipes
Can you light a pipe with a torch lighter or is it not a smart way to do it? Do you smoke it like a cigar and not inhale? How long does a tin last if you smoke daily? I went into a local B&M and noticed all the pipe tobacco they had which was pretty cheap but had some questions.

Re: How to get started smoking pipes
Oh yeah question. How do you smoke to the bottom of the bowl? Usually toward the end my pipe just keeps going out. I found some advice to use the pointy part of the pipe tool and stir it, tamp then relight but what happened was i got a mouth full of ash! Any advice? Thanks

1. Questions here are limited to newguys with cobs and OTC burley. Anything else demands the thoughtful touch of the experts in the "Ask an Old Fart" thread. 2. Assuming you have a cob that won't burn to the bottom AND you can get ashes in your mouth that means: a) the tobacco has burned down to the level of the (very large) airhole; and b) the unburned tobacco remaining in the pipe is probably below the airhole where it ain't a-gonna burn. Fergettabowdit. Smoke's over. Dump it. You're a shave-tail slick-sleeved rookie smoking the cheapest tobacco money can buy for crying out loud - dump it! What do you think this is - an International Longest Smoke Competition? Refill and enjoy a new pipeful. c) cob-smoke duration will improve along with your pipe-filling skills; the unburned soggy stuff (dottle) at the bottom of the pipe can be eliminated with pipe mud. Ask an old fart about that after a while. 3. That pointy thing on the pipe tool is good for poking holes in celery.

Re: How to get started smoking pipes
bump... I was referring to traveling with the pipe. I'm going to be bringing it to a music festival where we camp for 4 days.

Re: How to get started smoking pipes
I have assembled the suggested materials and read the instructions on "loading" a pipe, I'll let you know how it works out shortly.
Had to go to a Rite Aid for the CH as CVS and Safeway only had Captain Black and Borkum Riff. |
